'69 Chevrolet Camaro SS, Sherman Oaks, CA

[/caption] Around Town – Snapshots of collector cars spotted in and around Los Angeles. Spotted this ’69 Camaro SS in Sherman Oaks, CA. It appears to be a daily driver for this owner and is certainly not a concours contender. It’s even fitted with a newly trimmed center console that includes cupholders. Not exactly stock for a ’69 if a restoration is the goal. Assuming the badges don’t lie, it’s also equipped with GM’s tried and true 5.7 liter big block. What do you say Camaro experts? How’s it look? Leave…

The majority of ire appears to be centered around the retro look and feel taking priority over usability what with an awkward steering wheel…
